Hiccup Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Lazarus was an old man I'm 90% sure.You're casting very well-known people in incredibly small roles that do almost nothing for the "plot" (Pilate's Wife for one). so you need to just cut those cast members out.Also, you're going all over the map with ethnicities, using White, Hispanic, and Indian actors/actresses to play people from the same ethnic group.Should I just say the cast is just a bunch of unknown Italian actors and actresses?

4815162342 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 What you should do is actually think well about the casting of the film. A cast like yours would have an insane acting budget that would swallow the production budget whole.Aside from a handful of key roles, you don't need a named cast for the film, and you don't need substantial names for most of the roles you do cast.

SilverShark Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Can I have the rights for Stargate ? (TV show story line)I have some nice ideas for a trilogy featuring the Goa´uld as villains. Edited January 15, 2012 by SilverShark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm thinking of starting a mega fantasy franchise called Magic: The Gathering. It's based on the greatest role play game in the world. It could be ready for Year 3, however there are so many stories, don't even know where to begin.

My 1st warning:Tread very carefully, because those people who remember those films WILL be very critical. SS, you can have the rights. Treat them well and don't overshoot.

SilverShark Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I´m still not sure if I make a film about Stargate my ideas would work for an original film better I think but with Stargate and the universe of the franchise I would have some basic elements. Maybe I do both I don´t know yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Do you know, who had them? Is it possible to read them if they're not planning using that material again?Three different people made raved-about franchises from Magic, using different eras in the game. One of them does not post here at BOT. Also I doubt they'd let you read the material just so you could remake it. But take it from me, you do not want to make the series already made in CAYOM 1.0 because the scrutiny will be intense.I agree Hunch. Magpie's reaction if Al remade the Krosa saga would be priceless.

4815162342 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 By the way, Impact or WB can put up the Part 1 of Year 2 thread now or anytime they wish, since we'll be doing the standard 2-week open period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankenberry Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I had to restart The Morrow... with very good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunch Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 You can't do a mega MTG franchise with all the expansions because 1) its way too huge a universe of storylines to be given to one person, 2) several expansions have already been adapted including the ones I did and still retain the rights to those series should they wish to revisit them. I even have a MTG film coming out next year (Zendikar). The ones I adapted were Ravnica, Kamigawa, Lorwyn and Shards of Alara, Magpie did Krosa and Ry did Weatherlight. But there are many other expansions that have not been adapted, just make sure to ask before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Can I read your ones Hunch? It's a huge universe with several novels and short stories, so there's a vast opportunity. I was thinking to do the Ice Age Cycle trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunch Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 No one has done Ice Age before, that one is fine. :)I'm afraid I'm not giving out any of those films now, I had edited most out of the old CAYOM as well. My films were only based on the setting and the general outline of the story with the rest of the plot and characters being mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
